Never before have the walls of our classrooms been so transparent. The Internet- digital cameras- audio recorders- editing software- and an emerging global conversation are combining to redefine the classroom. This presentation will expose participants to a range of wizardry for capturing and cooking digital content for teaching and learning. (a longer description is available here: http://goo.gl/YABIK)

Arithmetic plays a central part in our digital landscape

This presentation is different from my normal ‘linear’

We live in an information environment of sharing

One of the best things you can walk away from this conference is a group of people you can keep asking questions from

going to start with video
– starting with a video clip of a bird flying away after being perched on a ledge
– can turn on AV controls to make it play at half speed
– so this can make some things which were INVISIBLE now VISIBLE
– we can even (in some cases) make things that didn’t exist, exist!

There’s no problem with you seeing me struggle up here / relearn and learn how to do something
– your students will be fine seeing you struggle with things, and helping in that process

My expectation today isn’t that you’ll walk out of here knowing how to do all these things
– I want you to better understand that because information is made of 1’s and 0’s, it’s something you and I can manipulate and transform!

Basic skill now: look for tutorials on YouTube about different topics

example video David’s son made reversing a clip of tearing up a cup

Images:
– many of us are now walking around with cameras in our pockets

showing examples of images of things in motion/flight that are captured in amazing ways
